“What are the deep, long-term effects of clandestine surveillance on a country?

My own experience may be relevant to that discussion. It was on Sept. 12, 1973, the day after a military coup overthrew the democratically elected government of Chile, that I started to understand that language was also a victim when massive state spying permeates a hitherto free nation.”
